Chapter 997 Let’s Go
Mrs. Liu spoke for a long time in one breath. Li Jinxing's originally stiff face was moved a little, and he clenched his fists.
There are very few people in this world who care about him, and Mrs. Liu is the first person who truly cares about him in such a short time.
Mrs. Liu's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke. She didn't understand why she was so sentimental. It wasn't a life-and-death separation, but she wanted to cry after hearing a few caring words. She held her breath and tried her best to control her emotions.
"Mr. Li, you must take good care of yourself. I believe that one day, Miss Gu will come back safely."
"I understand." Li Jinxing raised his hand. "Pack up and leave. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me. I will definitely help you solve them if I can."
"Okay..." Having said everything, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath. When she passed by Li Jinxing and was about to return to her bedroom, Li Jinxing suddenly said something.
"It's best not to tell anyone about the huge insurance policy Gu Wanqiu bought for you, including your daughter."
"Ah..." But her daughter already knew about it. She had not originally intended to let her know, but when she was signing that day, her daughter happened to come to the hospital and ran into her. When she mentioned her daughter, she realized that they had not been in touch for a long time.
Li Jinxing frowned: "She already knows?"
Mrs. Liu nodded stiffly: "She happened to see it when Manager Zhang came to the hospital to discuss the insurance signing with me that day. It should be okay if my daughter knows..." Mrs. Liu didn't know why Li Jinxing asked her to keep it a secret from her daughter. Was he worried that her daughter would hurt her for the insurance?
How is this possible?
After all, she is her own flesh and blood. She knows her daughter very well. Even if she has the intention, she does not have the courage. Besides, Liu Ying is not a bad person by nature. At most, she is a little spoiled. Maybe it is because she has reached puberty and is a little rebellious. She does not understand the hard work of making money.
Mrs. Liu felt that her daughter still cared about her very much. The last time she was hospitalized, didn’t she go to the hospital to see her immediately after she knew about it?
"Anyway, be careful." Li Jinxing's frown never relaxed. He had already reminded Mrs. Liu. It was obvious that she had never experienced any conspiracy or intrigue. People's hearts are complicated and cannot be understood at a glance.
There are people who kill their parents for insurance and even become enemies with their spouses. Mrs. Liu probably doesn't watch enough news.
Mrs. Liu also knew that Li Jinxing cared about her, so she nodded as if to agree, then moved her feet and slowly returned to her bedroom to pack her things.
She had very little stuff and finished packing it in a duffel bag in less than half an hour. She could have just left with the duffel bag, but looking at the time, it was still early, only nine o'clock.
Mrs. Liu decided to dawdle a little longer and make lunch for Li Jinxing after noon before leaving.
Mrs. Liu didn't know what Li Jinxing liked to eat specifically. She had been here for so long and didn't know his preferences.
Li Jinxing would always say that he should make everything the same way he made it for Gu Wanqiu before, and he should eat whatever Gu Wanqiu liked to eat.
Mrs. Liu felt upset when she thought of Gu Wanqiu who had no news. She was afraid that the sauces she had prepared for Gu Wanqiu had been eaten up long ago, with not even a bottle left.
Mrs. Liu decided to make some sauce and big meat buns for Li Jinxing at noon today. Gu Wanqiu liked to eat them, but unfortunately she didn't have time to make them that night. Now making them for Li Jinxing can make up for that little regret.
After thinking it over, Mrs. Liu left the bedroom. Li Jinxing was still in the living room.
"Have you packed your things? I'll ask the driver to take you..."
"Mr. Li." Mrs. Liu interrupted him, "I want to make lunch for you before I leave, is that okay?" She said the last two words carefully, as if she was afraid that Li Jinxing would refuse.
Li Jinxing really wanted to refuse, but after meeting Mrs. Liu's gaze, he finally nodded.
Fortunately, the refrigerator is big enough and has everything. Mrs. Liu chopped the pork into stuffing and mixed it with other ingredients. While the dough was rising, she made beef sauce, beef jerky... and some dried fruits and preserves. With the refrigerator, these can be kept for a longer time. If Li Jinxing doesn't have time to cook one day, he can take them out and eat them. Think about those sauces. They are very appetizing when mixed with noodles or a pot of rice.
Mrs. Liu tried to do as much as possible. She filled the fresh-keeping room full. She steamed buns, stewed a pot of chicken soup, and fried a side dish. She brought the food to the table and asked Li Jinxing to come and eat.
This was not the first time that Li Jinxing had eaten the buns made by Mrs. Liu. The first time he ate them, he couldn't understand why Gu Wanqiu liked to eat such ordinary and greasy food. But after eating them many times and getting used to them, Li Jinxing found that the food made by Mrs. Liu was addictive. Perhaps this was the taste of home.
Moreover, when cooking for others, Mrs. Liu takes their preferences into consideration and remembers them carefully. She also reminds them to eat more, saying that eating well will improve their health.
Li Jinxing noticed that the buns today were very small, xiaolongbao, and each one had a different flavor: shrimp, pickled mustard greens and pork, green onions and beef, bamboo shoots and beef, cowpeas and pork...
For an adult man, eating ten of these small buns would be no problem. However, Li Jinxing stopped eating after eating six and started drinking the soup and eating the vegetables on the plate. This meal was the most filling he had eaten in a long time.
Mrs. Liu watched Li Jinxing eat quietly with a faint smile on her face. After he finished, she said, "Mr. Li, even when I'm gone, you must eat well like you did today. I've made a lot of meat sauce in the ward, as well as instant beef jerky, dried vegetables and fruits, etc. Eat when you're hungry. Don't starve yourself and hurt your stomach."
Li Jinxing was busy with work before and didn't pay attention to the movement in the kitchen. When Mrs. Liu said she would make him lunch, he agreed. He thought to himself, Mrs. Liu usually doesn't start until 11 o'clock, why is she doing it so early today.
He didn't think about it too much, but Mrs. Liu did spend a long time in the kitchen today. It turned out... she was busy doing these things.
There was a voice deep in Li Jinxing's heart that wanted him to keep Mrs. Liu. He opened his mouth slightly but still said nothing.
It is easy to form habits in the relationship between people. He doesn't want to get used to it, because habit will become a person's weakness. After Gu Wanqiu passed away, he was alone.
This is good, not being bound by emotions, not loving anyone, and not being loved by anyone, fighting alone and becoming stronger.
He also doesn't allow others to become his weaknesses.
